 Gaming Up The Classroom      Incorporating games into the classroom can have many advantages, but it can also have many disadvantages. using games to help them understand and learn the lesson better. But simultaneously, you must ensure they are playing only the games allowed. Now, if it's a personal device that can be a tricky task. If it is a device provided by the school then this becomes less of an issue. There are lots of parental controls and settings you can put on devices from the school, and most schools do this already.      There are lots of interactive games and websites that have great benefits for keeping kids engaged in learning. Kahoot is a great one for instance, I remember playing that even in high school and I so badly wanted to get first place so I would try my best to learn the material so I could answer faster than everyone else. By the time the real quiz came, I usually performed better and knew the questions more after playing a...

 Social Media And Education      Social media has been involved in schools a lot, especially recently. Let's talk about some of the advantages of using social media in school. Students constantly have their faces buried in their phones 24/7. Teachers and schools would benefit a lot from implementing social media. you can use social media for online discussions, and posting upcoming events and assignments.      Using social media in school can also help build a better and bigger community. With everyone posting about upcoming school events, football games, charity events, and fundraising. Using social media also makes it a lot easier to connect with and contact students.

Inappropriate things can be shared and said, and bullying can happen a lot more as well.  Unless people are k...

 Accessible Online Learning      Regarding accessible online learning, I am not too familiar with how it all works. Everyone obviously has the right to an education, But with disabilities, I feel like that becomes more of a challenge, especially depending on the disability. A person who is blind, they have technology that can read the text to you and have voice commands to navigate a webpage. When it comes to textbooks used in class this becomes more challenging, seeing as how every single textbook may not have an online version that can be read to you. If you happen to teach a person who is blind it is important to try your best to minimize pictures and PDFs in your curriculum or provide an alternative assignment for that particular student that will accommodate their needs.  

 Online learning      I'm sure you are all aware of what online learning is. Simply put, online learning is delivering educational content and assignments through the internet. Teachers around the world have been using this a lot more recently, especially since COVID. Even after COVID we still are still using it more than we ever have before. I don't think I've gotten more than a handful of papers from teachers in the past few years because they put it all online now.       Now, is online learning beneficial? yes and no, there are always pros and cons to a lot of things and online learning is one of them. Online learning makes teaching and giving kids the tools they need a lot more accessible and easy. It is also easier to keep track of everything, instead of having 100 papers they are all on your account which can be accessed from any device. Not to mention there are hundreds of applications to also make teaching and learning easier. Grammarly is...
